Maximum internal hard disk and memory
capacities may require the replacement of any
standard hard drives and/or memory and the
population of all hard disk bays and memory
slots with the largest currently supported drives
available. When referring to variable speed
CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs and DVDs, actual
playback speed will vary and is often less than
the maximum possible.
